The nearest one is like 90 miles away, not about to do a 180 mile round trip or pay the high shipping/tax from ordering through site Wonder if anyone will price match (probably not in a local printed ad)? I really want to try out some "Maxell..002".

I am looking for DVD -R, I did a check on DVD Media under List on the left hand side, but it gave me 23 hits for Maxell with different CODES, but I am not sure which code is the one I should be looking for?

Appreciate your help.

8x made in Japan at OD are probably not TY, mine were not, but hitachi maxell, same quality tho.
4x should be Ty.

for 8X MAXELL DVD-R the media code will be MXL RG03.
you find these media codes by using programs like DVDINFO PRO or DVD IDENTIFER. the media codes will not be posted on the spindles. as long as the spindle says MADE IN JAPAN they are the ones to purchase.

I've gotten 4x MAXELL media codes that were MXL RG02 which is also good too. Not all 4x MAXELL MADE IN JAPAN will be TAIYO YUDEN.

Thanks for the info. I am planning on getting some 4x maxell. I know there is different color top maxell dvd's (for example gold). Does the color on top of the DVD matter? Which color should I aim at getting?

4x maxell DVD-R's make sure to pick Gold/Yellow Tops(Ty/Mxl) over Blue Tops (Ritek)

As long as the spindle says MADE IN JAPAN you're safe. The discs that are YELLOW on top are 4x speed verus the 8x speed discs are GOLD on top. If the DVD-R 4x spindle says MADE IN TAIWAN then those are RITEK which is crappy.
